Welcome to Luoyang Yijia International Youth Hostel. We are the only YHA Hostel in Luoyang and take pride in the service we give to all of our guests. This truely will be your 'home away from home'.

Our staff are local people from Henan Province that know all the details of getting to and from Luoyang and all around the city. They can speak English which can be a problem sometimes for travelers. We are a real International hostel and not a Chinese hotel.

We are situated inside a traditional residential district in the city centre. Staying here will give you a feel of 'real China' as you see locals going about their daily life. This in itself is a great experience. Our location is close to the centre of the old town with cultural (old stoned streets) and shopping streets close by. There are also many banks, a Post Office and a few Supermarkets all within a kilometre of us. The Hostel is also near the local night market known as 'Lantern Street'.

There is a bus stop less then 50 metres from the hostel which gives you easy access to and from sights as well as the bus and train stations.
